Pirate: Son-in-law, I’m determined!

The ship of the Spade Pirates.

Ace was sent to the emergency room.

The remaining members stayed in the corner of the deck, looking at the two evil spirits standing at the bow of the ship. They were trembling with fear and did not even dare to take a breath.

The navy's black hair was enough to scare them, but now there was another monster who could almost beat the captain to death with a stick.

Damn it, since I came to the new world, I have either been beaten or beaten on the way, but I still let people live!

Yamato changed into ordinary clothes and put on a hood. Before leaving Wano Country, she could not let anyone discover her whereabouts.

Besides freedom, she also has a dream.

"Loya, I want to be Oden!"

"Oden."

Loya took a deep look at Yamato.

What was supposed to come came.

This girl is a few years older than him, but her poor living environment has prevented her from growing up properly, making her no better than a child.

Star-chasing brats are the hardest to deal with.

Luo Ya said calmly: "Kozuki Oden, I have heard about him."

"Luo Ya, do you also like Oden?"

Yamato looked surprised.

That expression was exactly the same as that of a star-chasing child.

Loya shook his head.

"No, I hate him."

"ah?!"

Yamato was stunned and was hit by an arrow in the heart.

How can you be happy when someone you admire is rejected?

Loya asked: "Yamato, you said you want to be Oden, then I want to ask you, what is it about Oden that you like?"

"I want to go on adventures freely like Oden!"

Yamato answered without hesitation.

She took out the shabby diary from her arms and held it in her hand like a treasure. There was a faint word "Oden" on the surface of the diary.

Oden's thrilling adventures made her heart swell.

"That doesn't count as a reason."

Loya shook his head in denial: "If you just want to have free adventures, you can do it without becoming an Oden. Oden has Oden's adventures, and you have your own adventures."

"."

Yamato blinked.

If you think about it seriously, it is indeed the case.

Ah, no, no!

Yamato shook his head and puffed up his cheeks: "Oden is a true samurai. Fifteen years ago, a major event happened in the Flower Capital that shocked Wano Country!"

The torture of boiling in cauldron, the legendary hour.

Yamato's eyes lit up as she recounted the scene she saw at that time: "Kozuki Oden is the most outstanding samurai. I will never forget the way he died generously that day."

"I see."

Loya nodded slowly.

To be honest, he couldn't understand Yamato's thinking logic.

If Oden didn't have the strength to resist, he would definitely respect Oden as a man.

But according to Yamato's description, Oden and his nine retainers not only had the strength to break free from the chains, but also had the physical strength to persist in the oil pan for an hour.

Whether it was fighting Kaido again, or escaping from the execution ground to regroup, Oden could do it, but he chose to surrender and pin his hopes on twenty years later.

Isn't this a pure coward?

But looking at Yamato's fangirl appearance, it probably doesn't make sense.

"We've arrived."

Loya pointed forward.

The coast of Jiuli has come into view.

"Let's go, I'll take you to learn about the current Wano Country."

Soon, everyone returned to Wenli Village.

Seeing the rescued family members, the people in Weili Village cried with joy. They had no hope at all.

The Spade Pirates stayed in Fugasa Village to rest.

Loya took Yamato for a walk around the village, and then quietly left for other villages and towns.

Nine miles, rabbit bowl, white dance.

After walking for a whole day, the two of them crossed three rural areas and came to Baiwu's Caishen Town, where they stayed overnight at Lao Kang's house.

Night falls.

After simply eating some food, Lao Kang and his family huddled in the living room to rest, leaving the only bedroom for the two of them.

Under the dim night light, the two of them were lying on the tatami.

Loya put his head on his hands.

"How are you feeling today?"

"very bad!"

Yamato turned his back to Loya and answered gloomily.

When she left Ghost Island, she was full of expectations for the next adventure, but her fantasy was quickly shattered by reality.

Poverty and hunger are everywhere.

There are countless ronin villains too!

"It's different from what I remember!"

Yamato sat up cross-legged angrily, wearing only underwear and a thin top. Her figure was looming, but she didn't care at all about being exposed.

She can't sleep now!

Before she was eight years old, her father did not restrict her freedom. At that time, she often followed the boat and went to various towns to play.

In her distant memory, although the people of Wano were not wealthy, at least having enough to eat was not a problem.

But now it's completely different.

Loya also sat up and faced Yamato.

"Yamato, why do you think Wano Country is like this?"

"Of course it's because of father!"

Yamato answered confidently.

It's all my father's fault!

"And that damn General Orochi!"

"Well, your father Kaido and General Orochi are indeed the main reasons why Wano will become what it is now."

Luo Ya nodded in agreement and changed the subject.

"However, Oden can't escape the relationship."

"What does this have to do with Oden!"

Yamato puffed up his cheeks angrily.

She discovered that Luo Ya had great opinions on Oden.

Loya did not explain directly, but asked: "Yamato, when Ace destroyed Onigashima, why did you stop him?"

"Of course we have to stop it, that's my home."

Yamato tilted his head in confusion, not understanding why Loya asked.

She has no feelings for the Beast Pirates, and even hates her father and his subordinates, but Onigashima is her home after all, the place where she grew up.

"Yes, Ghost Island is your home."

Loya smiled slightly: "You think you have the responsibility to protect Onigashima, right?"

"right!"

Isn’t this natural?

"In the same way, Wano Country is Oden's home. Oden has the responsibility to protect Wano Country. Moreover, Oden is the son of the previous generation of generals, so he has a greater responsibility. The people of Wano Country also have high expectations for Oden."

Luo Ya said calmly: "Oden failed to protect his home, isn't he responsible?"

"this"

Yamato's mind was at a loss for words.

Loya shook his head slightly.

Many countries in the world are basically facing the problem of Wano.

Even the franchising countries are still being squeezed by Heavenly Gold. They are all squeezed. How can there be any difference between Kaido and the Celestial Dragons?

If you want to avoid being exploited by invaders, you can only rely on yourself.

Although Loya didn't agree with Oden's refusal to ask for help from the crew, he could understand that he couldn't ask for help every time he encountered trouble.

Just like the non-franchise countries that Team 11 has helped before, they can help for a while, but not forever.

But Oden’s subsequent dancing behavior

It's beyond description.

Loya sighed.

"Yamato, I know you long for Oden, but I hope you know that longing is the furthest distance from understanding."

"You have only met Oden once, read his diary, and built up what you think is the perfect Oden in your mind. However, in reality, you and Oden have never spoken a word."

"You don't know what Oden likes, you don't know what Oden likes to eat, you don't know what troubles Oden has, and you have only a half-knowledge of Oden."

"The Oden you want to be is essentially the perfect image in your fantasy, the person you long to be. That person can be Oden or someone else."

Loya asked softly: "Yamato, before you call yourself Oden, ask yourself, do you really understand Kozuki Oden?"

"I don't know."

Yamato's eyes were blank.

She wanted to refute Loya and prove that it was not the case, but she could not find a reason to refute it. Over the years, "Oden" had already become the pillar of her soul.

"Go to sleep, Yamato."

"The night is long."
